Mmm..update on my life.

Still unpacking, but I'm excited because it's almost done! And now that it is I want to look for my own place XD but it won't happy for at least a year, I'd imagine.

The job is going well, as well as jobs can. Especially since I'm the lowly new person, although that really isn't true anymore I suppose, since a girl has been hired for part-time work. She has been riding at the barn for several years though, so I don't really think that counts as her being "new", so to speak.

My bedroom is awesome though! Here is a few pictures of it as it is right now (please don't mind the mess!! and the picture quality...my camera needs batteries so these were taken with my laptop.)




There isn't anything on the walls yet. My poor Star Wars poster is feeling neglected sitting by my door, I can tell.

So far it hasn't been too bad sleeping in the basement, although I do get woken up some mornings by my parents walking around. Not a big deal though, since I'm usually up early anyways.

I'll take more pictures when my room is completely finished, but it's slow getting there.

I'm going to try and take water exercise classes next week and I'm hoping to take a yoga class as well as my horseback riding. I'm also planning on getting a new phone. Maybe a blackberry or iphone or something with a few more gadgets. It would be helpful for me when I'm at work, for sure.

Well...time for bed since there is work tomorrow!

Yeah, so a fair bit has happened this past little while. We got an offer on the house but then they took the offer back and I lost my job that I hadn't even officially started yet.

But it's my grandmother's birthday today and we'll be celebrating by going to Moxie's tonight. So that should be fun, so long as my uncle doesn't show up. A lot of us won't be happy if he does. Hopefully he has enough common sense to know that he won't be welcome.

I'm really enjoying my western horseback riding lessons, no jumping = happy Sara. Although it's weird having to get used to the differences between english and western riding. But I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I'm going to have super arm/leg muscles eventually if I keep up with lessons.

I thought I would be able to get a car and horse soon since I had a job, but its back to job hunting for me. It's really frustrating because I had turned down another job offer to take the one that I just got let go from.

Hopefully I'll have some luck.

O M G Another Update

Yeah...I'm not good at keeping up with this thing DX

So, we had our open house today and four couples plus a realtor came in to look at the house while we (Mom, Dad and I) went to Pefferlaw to look around the area. There is a skating rink there, I'm so excited! The nearby town, Sutton, has a fair bit to it too, but we didn't look for long over there so I didn't see too much.

Oh, and I got a job, which is awesome and I'm so happy I found something. The place is really nice and well-kept. I think I'll really enjoy it there. I won't be the only "new girl" either which is a major plus since we'll all be learning the ropes together!

Yeah that's about it that's really new in my life right now.

Oh and Blair Witch Project 2 is a kind of weird movie. Not scary at all!! I was left unimpressed.

Update

It's been a while since I updated, but not too much has happened recently.

I graduated and it was nice to see Josee again. I really like the grad t-shirt that I bought, it was worth the ten dollars I spent on it :)

I also like having my G2. It's nice not having to rely on my parents to take me everywhere. Now all I have to do is get a better sense of direction or a GPS. ;D

I'm still working on getting a job. It's a very slow process. I think I was spoiled before in how easy it was to get a job; it never usually took me more than a month to find something. Ah well.

I have fallen in love once again with The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. But this time, instead of Prince Caspian (who is still very nice to look at) I have found a new respect for Peter, or rather, William, the actor who plays Peter. He did all of his own stunts except for the jump off the draw bridge, which was done by a stunt double. You have to be really fit to be able to jump on a horse from the ground up at a run.

It's strange...and this usually doesn't happen to me very often with "real people" but I really like William and Anna, who plays Susan in Prince Caspian, together as a couple. Now, that's not saying that I like Peter and Susan together, because that's incest and I can't stand it. Like I said, it's strange.

Grey's Anatomy

I hate you so much, do you know that?! Christ, what a rollercoaster of freaking emotion! I cried at least twice, shrieked once and gasped at least ten times.

I mean, you start off by everything going around normally, la la la and then BAM! You shoot an innocent surgeon in the fucking head and then you shoot Karev!! How dare you!? Then you leave him to fucking crawl into an elevator where you don't even show what happens to him for another two commmercial breaks!

It gets worse! The stupid naive girl who wishes she was a surgeon bloody well trips over the corpse of her best friend and goes into shock. Of course she runs to Derek who then puts the hospital in a lock down that no one follows! Stupid TV shows. Then, we find out that his wife is pregnant and that the shooter is looking to kill him. Dammit all to hell.

The shooter then kills a bunch of other people and finally someone finds Karev in the fucking elevator and then it jumps to yet another commercial! God dammit.

So the shooter then goes to where Baley is with her intern and a patient (Mandy Moore). Baley sees him with the gun and tells the intern to hide and gets the patient to pretend she is dead and Baley hides under the bed.

Of course the shooter enters the fucking room, shoots the intern (who is still alive) all because he was a surgeon. He notices that the patient is (dead) and drags Baley out from under the bed who pleads for her life pretending to be a nurse.

Then the man leaves and Baley tries to save the intern.

So Karev is being worked on and while that is happening Derek gets shot because that stupid little bimbo that found her friend dead decided to call out to him just as he was calming the shooter down, aggravating the shooter into shooting him! God damned little bitch. I swear.

Meredith (his wife) sees all of this and starts screaming and of course, commercial. I hate them.

Then, the man leaves before the swat team could see him. Of course. Because he hasn't shot enough people yet.

So then more shit happens and Karev is being worked on, the intern is dying because the elevators aren't running anymore and Derek is being operated on.

The stupid shooter finds out that Derek is still alive and is pointing a gun at Christina who is operating on him demanding that she let him die. Then her boyfriend enters the OR and is very heroic. He yells at the shooter that is he shoots Christina he will fucking kill him. Of course he didn't swear but that's besides the point.

Cristina is crying and then Meredith enters the room and tells the shooter that to get revenge he should shoot her because she has ties to all of the people that he wants dead. She is Derek's wife, Weber's honorary daughter and Lexie's sister.

Of course as he goes to shoot her, Owen (Cristina's boyfriend) moves and gets shot instead but is still alive.

Cristina and her intern unhook Derek from the heart monitor which fakes his death and then the shooter leaves. They then proceed to save Derek's life.

Meredith then patches up Owen while she is having a miscarriage. Fuck.

So after that happens Derek's operation is a success but the intern with Baley (Charles) dies after asking Baley to tell Reid (the girl shot in the head at the beginning) that he loved her. But they don't know she's dead! And then he fucking dies. I cried

While Karev was being taken care of he was hallucinating and thought that Lexie was his ex-wife who had cancer and divorced him. He was crying and thanking her that she was there and that he didn't want her to leave again because he missed her. Christ I cried then too.

So the Weber comes into the hospital, finds the shooter and confronts him giving him a damned good speech that I will love him forever for.

Then the SWAT team comes in just as the shooter kills himself because of the speech Weber gave him. Go Weber.

So Derek lived, Owen lived, Karev lived.

But at least five people died, if not more, including the shooter himself.

I hate that I love dramatic tv shows...it's not good for my nerves.

G2!!!

Yes! I finally got my G2!! Oh, it was a long time coming, thats for sure. I'm so happy to not have to worry about it anymore. Now all I need to worry about is getting my very own car. I need to get a hold of my Uncle so he can get me a good deal :p

Now all I need is a job! I got so close to getting a part time job but the barn owner found someone else. Ah well, she was probably better suited to the job anyway. I guess it might not have been in my best interest to mention that I was, in fact, looking for a full time job. Oh well, wasn't meant to be I guess. Now its time to look at breeding farms that might need a stable hand!

I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I got so close to getting a few jobs for them to not work out. Mmmmm...just have to keep looking I suppose. It's such a drag but I need the money and the experience.

I also went up to Sharon's cottage for the weekend. Oh it was nice getting away, even for a little while. I got to feed the chipmunks and blue jays and the baby red squirrel. I also spent quality time with Sharon's cats. Made me miss having my own cat. I'm going to get one when I move out. Probably get it from an animal shelter that way I don't have to worry about training it. I just have to make sure the cat's already trained to use the litter box. Or maybe I'll get a kitten, I'm not sure.

Contacts!!

Yes, I went for my contact fitting and I love not having to wear glasses as often now! I have to wait two weeks to see how I like the contacts and then if everything goes well I'll get a prescription. I can wear sunglasses again!! :D

Also, the job hunt is at a bit of a standstill again, which sucks but I'm still looking. I was hoping that I would have found something by now though so I could start horseback riding again. Ah well, I'll find something eventually.

Hum, buh...my G2 test is getting steadily closer and I'm super nervous about it. I really need to practise my parking..;^-^ hehehe..But hopefully I'll get it because I have all these plans that require a car. ah, being able to drive myself places sounds really nice. I also will be in a desperate need of a GPS since I have almost no sense of direction at all.

I've also been watching Glee and I absolutely love it! I wish I could sing like that :) It's brought back a love for the "older songs" that I used to adore so much! Like 'The Boy is Mine'. Gah I loved it!

I also have so many plans for cosplays it's almost insane. I want to finish the one I'm working on right now before I start any others, but I'm so excited even though I won't be able to wear it until next year :p but that's a good thing too since I need to get in better shape in order to feel comfortable in it.

Ah well, time to clean my room :P

Horses, Dogs, and more Horses..oh and there were Cats somewhere there too

I went horseback riding on Monday for the first time since August last year!! I loved it!! Western horseback riding seems like it's going to be a lot of fun. It's quite different from English too, I was sort of surprised, but I guess I shouldn't have been really.

Tuesday was fun too! I went to look at houses with my parents and uncle. The first one we went to wasn't really anything special. The land wasn't very well kept and bees kept following me around. I didn't like it all that much. Mom loved the house though, it was all open-concept and I admit it was a very pretty house but I just didn't like it. The cat was mean too, I went to pet it and it meowed at me everytime I would get close. It wasn't a nice meow either. It was a 'touch me and I'll bite your hand off, bitch' kind of meow so I stayed pretty clear of that cat.

The next house was amazing!!! I fell in love with it...The house is really nice, and I would get the basement all to myself. It has its own bathroom with a shower and everything, and a kid already lives there so it'll be nice. Mom said if we get that house that we could install kitchen appliances (stove) into the counter. I don't even have to go through the house to get to the basement since its a walkout. I might even get my own garage!!

The barn on that property is pretty well kept too and the woman who owned the place said that we could take the horses too. I couldn't tell if she was joking or not...the dogs she owned were funny. Once they decided we were okay people they kept demanding to be pet. At one point they all crowded around me wanting attention...all of them were labs so they weren't small.

One of the horses was cute too, he liked to push people around with his head. I started scratching his nose and he seemed to enjoy it, trying to catch my hand with his lips.

The only thing about this place is that the driveway is super long and most of the land is the front yard.

The last place we saw the house wasn't all that great but there was a lot of land where we could build a barn, etc. but it was more expensive than the other two places.

My job search is sort of at a halt right now too, the one place I had an interview for I didn't get, which is okay because I don't think it was right for me at this time. I'm trying to set up an interview with another place but its going really slowly.

I've also rekindled my love for Inuyasha! I've been reading it almost non-stop lately.

I didn't get to see the place with the cottage yet, but we will be looking at it some time later when the real estate agent gets in touch with my uncle.

Okay, so when I said that I was starting up this blog again in my last post...I lied. Not intentionally, but it happened.

Yesterday was the celebration of my Aunt's 50th birthday. There was a fair number of people there, but it was great because we spent the entire day outside in the backyard.

So when we got there I, of course, after saying hello to everyone, even people I didn't know because the family is like that, I grabbed a beer. People kept giving me strange looks of surprise. Then when they would talk to me of course my age came up and everyone was surprised that yes, I am twenty years old. A few asked if I was sure that was true.

Of course, there was family drama as well. A girl on my Aunt's side of the family, meaning not related to me by blood in any way, is pregnant. Her name is Sarah and she's the same age as me but uh, her boyfriend is very nice and cute. So I was sitting by the table eating dinner with my mom, aunt, other aunt, uncle, and people I didn't know. Sarah wasn't there at the time. Of course, we love to gossip, so my other aunt said in hushed tones to her husband, "Did you know Sarah's pregnant?" and naturally, he turns to me with his eyes wide with shock. "You're pregnant?" yeah, classic. Mom assured him quite quickly that I am not pregnant, the other Sarah is. Then she turned to me and said "you better not be pregnant." Thanks Mom.

So it took a while but eventually I got bored and started a water fight with my younger cousins and their friend. It was fun, we had a blast. Sarah's boyfriend, Daniel, told us we should use the hose so I grabbed it but for some reason I got more water on me than my cousins...thats my luck I suppose.

We stopped eventually because it was getting sort of chilly and went up to the deck where Sarah, Daniel and my Dad were and started talking. Then Daniel said something like "I wish I was still your guys age and could have fun like that." Then I told him, "You still can have fun like that." He and Sarah just kind of looked at me weird and my Dad was chuckling. Then Daniel asked "How old are you?" "20." "Oh..wow." Then Sarah said, "You fit in with them." Talking about Gabrielle (10) and Elise (also 10) sitting on both sides of me. Thanks...now I look like a ten year old. I guess it didn't help that Elise is the same height as me.

So Daniel and Sarah were leaving and Sarah left but then Daniel came back demanding a hug from everyone and I tried to stay clear by heading over to my Dad but Elise had other ideas and pushed me right into him. Dude almost fell down the stairs. Oh but that was a very nice hug, I enjoyed it very much for the second it lasted. If he didn't have a girlfriend...mmmmm

So that pretty much finished off the day and then we went home and I went to sleep almost right away. I hadn't run around like that in a very long time.

Now I'm just waiting for a person to get back to me with an interview time and also waiting for a call back from a person I had an interview with on Friday. I'm half-hoping I don't get that job though..I don't like the idea of having to get up at four in the morning every morning for 14 days straight for every horse show and then six in the morning for the rest of the time. We'll see though, I suppose.

Oh, and my parents and I are still looking at houses for sale. On Tuesday we're going to see a few more places. There is one that I'm pretty excited about. It is about 10 acres of land with a house and a cottage on the property. Guess who would get the cottage all to themselves, me, that's right! I would also get to build a barn on the property which would be fantastic, no paying expensive boarding fees!

I'm also starting up western riding on Monday. No more scary jumping for me! I actually had a dream about riding there last night...it was really weird. So my Dad and I went there and there was a horse already tacked up for me and there were a bunch of guys there too talking about cows. I went up to the woman who would be teaching the lesson and she was very distracted, never looked at me. She told me to grab the horse and walk into the arena so I did, but she didn't follow me. There was a guy in the arena so I went over to talk to him and I was just about to get on the horse when the woman came back and took the horse from me. We walked back to the barn where the guys were bringing in a glowing green cow (I blame farmville for this) and started gutting it and taking off its skin. The woman started yelling and I started running and then the guys tossed the skin onto my back and I woke up.

So after I got there my Dad was no where to be found and I didn't even get to horseback ride.

Breakfast is almost ready so I'm gonna go eat.

Wow..Long Time!

So, I've decided to start this up again...its been a little while, I gotta say.

Well...I'm back in school again, what a joy. At least I'll be done in almost three months. But I don't want to drag on about it.

Okay, I'm sure pretty much everyone has heard of the crisis at Haiti at this point, so if you can, please donate. On monday I plan to donate twenty dollars to the cause, and probably another ten on wednesday. So if you can, please donate, even if it is just a dollar.

I've been in a slump lately, mostly because of school and a personal as well as a family situation, but I stumbled upon this boy's youtube channel and it was very inspiring and exactly what I needed to get out of this self-pity fest I was in. I don't feel so angry at the world so much anymore. It's a nice feeling after being down for so long.

So I've decided to start exercising again and just taking care of myself better. I can't eat the healthiest right now because of school, but I'm going to try and eat less junk food and more fruit and veggies when I get snackish.

I'm also going to start writing and drawing again and reading actual books. I'm also going to try harder in school, which should make that situation easier. Hopefully doing some of my favorite hobbies will give me a constructive way to get rid of my frustration.

With that said, time to wash away the insecurities!!
